The long-awaited Chromebooks finally hit retails in June but they're already seeing significant price reductions. Both Acer and Samsung entered the market with modestly priced options with the Samsung models commanding a slight premium. But not anymore. Amazon just dropped the price on the Samsung Chromebooks by 7% to 10% with the WiFi-only model now costing $399 and the 3G model running $449. That's down from their MSRP of $429 and $499, respectively. With Chrome OS still in its infancy and niche products not lasting very long in today's market, it makes you wonder if Google or its hardware partners are slowly giving up hope on the platform or simply prepping for new models.
Update: Statement from Samsung added after the jump.
